EXTRACTION

Children begin losing their primary teeth (baby teeth) around the age of 6. The first teeth to be lost are usually the central incisors. This is then followed by the eruption of the first permanent molars. The last baby tooth is usually lost around the age of 12, and is the cuspid or second molar. If your child has an over-retained tooth that is not falling out when the adult tooth has erupted, we are able to help your child remove the baby tooth gently.
